The textbook answers is "Gas giants." However, that isn't entirely accurate. Gas giants are made of elements that are gaseous under low pressure. However, most gas giants are so large that they actually have a surface of high-pressure liquid, often hydrogen and helium. Jupiter, for example, has two known oceans, one atop the other, of liquid hydrogen (it's liquid because the pressure, from gravity, is so intense).
